About me
I build websites for real people who run real businesses, not just big tech companies.
Hi, I’m Nick Askew, the person behind Designs Web Studio. I come from a background of hard work, long days, and real-world problem solving, which means I understand what it takes to keep a business running while trying to get your website off the ground.
When I’m not at the computer, I’m around the forestry and logging world, which keeps me grounded in how small businesses actually operate. That perspective shapes how I build websites: they need to be simple to use, easy to understand, and worth the money you spend on them.
Over the years, I’ve worked on everything from small business websites to gaming and modding tools, focusing on clean layouts, clear navigation, and fast loading pages. I use HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript to build sites that fit each client instead of forcing everyone into the same template.
About Designs Web Studio
Affordable, custom websites for small businesses, local services, and creators.
Designs Web Studio exists to make it easier for small businesses, farms, contractors, loggers, and creators to get online without wasting time or blowing the budget. I help you choose a domain, set up hosting, and launch a website that actually matches what you do.
Built for small businesses
Whether you’re in Central Alabama or anywhere else, my focus is on small businesses that need a clean, trustworthy site to send customers to.
Straightforward and practical
No confusing jargon or endless options. We agree on pages, features, and price up front, then I handle the tech while you keep running your business.
Creator and gamer friendly
I also build sites for gamers, streamers, and creators, with spots for your content, tools, or projects when you want something beyond a basic profile link.
How I use AI in my work
AI is a tool, not a replacement for real work. I use it to speed things up, not to cut corners.
Behind the scenes, I use AI to brainstorm ideas, check code, and help draft content. Every site is still hand-checked, customized, and adjusted by me so it fits your business and not just a generic template.
Faster, not lazier
AI helps with repetitive tasks and code checks, so I can focus more time on structure, design, and making things easy for your customers.
Content support
Stuck on wording? I can use AI to generate options and then refine them with you so the final text still sounds like your business, not a robot.
Design ideas
I use AI tools for layout and style inspiration, then build the parts that work best for your project using clean, maintainable code.
